The night begins with a heartfelt panel conversation about courage — the risks taken, the challenges faced, and the passion that keeps them moving forward. It’s an honest look at what it means to build, lead, and persist. Following the discussion, settle in for a four-course seated wine pairing dinner with a menu created by the women on the panel, showcasing beautifully crafted dishes, thoughtfully selected wines, and a celebratory Blanc de Blancs toast. With orchard views as your backdrop, this evening is about community, conversation, and raising a glass to bold ideas. Every meaningful dream starts with courage.
